Abstract

The article presents the results of studying the biological and economic efficiency of the herbicide Aquilon, SC (isoproturon, 500 g/l + diflufenican, 100 g/l) applied to winter wheat in autumn under the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Based on the conducted research, it was established that pre-emergence application of the herbicide Aquilon, SC to winter wheat in autumn and during vegetation at the rate of 0.75–1.0 l/ha was effective against annual dicotyledonous and cereal weeds. The reduction in infestation of crops with annual dicotyledonous weeds before crop emergence was 98.0–99.3 %, annual cereal weeds – 92.0–100 %, at the tillering stage – 99.3–99.5 and 86.3–100 %.
